ConGRADulations!!

Hello Crafty Friends!!
Larissa here today to share a Radiant Graduation Shaker Card with you!! I personally LOVE to create Shaker Cards and in my opinion Graduation Celebrations are one of the PERFECT Times to create a them!! I promise that the Recipient will not only ENJOY shaking the Card you’ve Created for them, but the SMILE that you get while they are Shaking the Card will be PRICELESS!! Let’s get Started!! 

I wanted to create a Deco Foiled A7 Scalloped Frame so I Started by using the Deco Foil Transfer Sheets and I Foiled it with some Silver Deco Foil by cutting a Piece of the Silver Deco Foil Large enough to cover the Deco Foil Transfer Sheet and then placing the Silver Deco Foil on top of the Deco Foil Transfer Sheet, Shiny Side Up and then running it through my Laminating Machine!! Once Laminated, I removed the Clear Backing Film and then Die Cut the Scalloped A7 Rectangle using the A7 Enveloped Builder Die Set!! 

Next I Die Cut my Card Panel from some White Cardstock using the A7 Modern Embossed Layers Die Set and another one from some Black Cardstock for the Back Panel of my Shaker Card!!  Then I used the ConGRADulations Die and Die Cut the Window into my Card Panel!! I removed all of the inside pieces and I was left with my Card Panel!! Next I backed the Card Panel with a Piece of Clear Acetate and added my Foam Tape around the outside edges of the Card Panel!! 

Then I added my Shaker Elements to the inside of the Foam Shaker!! I used some of the Trinity Stamps Crystal Clear Rhinestone Embellishments, Stunning Silver Bauble Embellishments and some Martha Stewart Mini Heart Confetti pieces along with some Red Mini Gems!! Then I removed the Adhesive backing Tape from the Foam Tape and adhered the Black Cardstock Panel over the Foam Tape and pressed it firmly into place!! 

I wanted to add some Radiant Red Fancy Foil to the Front of the Panel so I Started by using the Deco Foil Transfer Sheets and I Foiled it with some Radiant Red Fancy Foil by cutting a Piece of the Radiant Red Fancy Foil Large enough to cover the Deco Foil Transfer Sheet and then placing the Radiant Red Fancy Foil on top of the Deco Foil Transfer Sheet, Shiny Side Up and then running it through my Laminating Machine!! Once Laminated, I removed the Clear Backing Film and then Die Cut the ConGRADulations Die!! I then Cut away the Letters from the Die Cut piece using my Scissors and then adhered the Radiant Red Foiled Letters to the  White Cardstock Shaker Panel using some Ultra Bond  Liquid Adhesive!!
 
Then I added the Graduation Hat with some Foam Tape that I Die Cut from some Black Cardstock and I Die Cut the Tassel from some of the Radiant Red Deco Foil!! I just LOVE that way that the Radiant Red Fancy Foil Sparkles!! Then to finish off the Card Design I added a scattering of some of the Stunning Silver Bauble Embellishments!! I even added a Mini one to the center of the Graduation Hat just to finish it off with some Sparkle!! I Stamped and Embossed the “You Did It” Sentiment from the Supporting Script Sentiments Stamp Set on the Inside of the Card using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!!

I LOVE the way this Card turned out and how you can Customize it with the Graduates Colors using the Colors that coordinate with their School Colors!! There are a RAINBOW of Colors available in both Deco Foils and Fancy Foils or you could use Colored Cardstock or even Patterned Paper for different options to create a Similar Design!! The options are ENDLESS and like I said, I Promise the Recipient is going to LOVE this Personal Shaker Card!! I hope you’ll give it a try and that the SMILES you receive will BRIGHTEN your Day too!!
